Well i'll be. I thought i knew my history. Your research is accurate. The city was liberated from the K.u.k.M. in 1878 and Serbia was founded in 1882.
At the time the painting was made, the city was called Nándorfehérvár, and was part of the K.u.k.M.

Never before had a Christian army achieved a victory of this scale against the Sultan’s forces.
